David Shuey consistently does the best work of anyone I've encountered, whether on Medium or in more traditional publications, in compiling, summarizing and analyzing the data concerning claims of "systemic racism" in policing of black communities. This article is no exception. It presents cogent analysis backed up by a massive well-sourced trove of data. Unfortunately, the people whose voices get amplified in our current toxic political atmosphere are those like Prof. Goff's, who want to push an ideological narrative that we are living in some sort of anti-black police state. I implore everyone who is tempted to agree with Goff to do yourself this favor if you want to be intellectually honest rather than an uninformed, dug-in political hack: read this article. Look at the actual data. Consider David Shuey's analysis of that data. Then decide what you think.
